That is why it was only used with fastcall for a long time. One 3.1.x+ it should be safe. But you cannot express dependencies on the compiler version in Kconfig right now. Of course getting rid of gcc 2.95 and 3.0.x support would be a good idea, that would allow many other nice things. -Andi - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||
